[Intro: Not Lawren]
It comes another day and I know I will someday
You see a whole lotta of love, a whole lotta love
Let me talk about it
[Verse 1: Lawren]
Grew up on the south with these dudes tryna pull up
Gotta purchase stones but they cool like a push-up
They would never know but they still trying to fool us
Got a 44 and they really tryna finish him
But I'm on the Bronx I'ma chill like some riddlin
Killer can't know yeah they tryna get ridda him
Heard he doin' coke now, they know cause he snort loud
Tryna make my momma proud but I'm with the wrong crowd
What went wrong: started vibin with the OGs, started doin this and that and hidin from the police
Had a homie lay low, but he never really lay low
Had him hit the brakes slow tryna get his payroll
Life is a miracle, 44 to the street
Mom get hysterical, her son is always in the street
Dropped out in the 9th grade with the players homie
Tryna get some bands on me, gotta move the stash slow
Yo I gotta g-pass, something like a passport
Never really sold drugs, barely smoked weed too
But I see my share of greed, eat it like pea soup
That's what they yelling while police is in the rear-view
Know they close too, I can promise they can hear you
Bizzy had a first and he threw it in my lap, bruh
Had it stuff it in my stuff so I can hear 'em call back up
Gotta put your stories pay attention, yo that's us
[Hook: Lawren]
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
My mind tryna stop but my body keeps movin'
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
I act like I lead but I'm really so foolish
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
My mind tryna stop but my body keeps movin'
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
I act like I lead but I'm really so foolish
[Verse 2: Lawren]
The whole hun yellin', the whole hun yellin'
Now we under surveillance that's why nobody could tell us
Another dude's getting jealous. Sold green like relish
I made it out, now I relish God's gift and opportunity
The pressure is real, boy I mess with it still
Trayvon was from the city, bruh
It hurt us so bad, only 17 why the good ones always go man?
Just another victim we know it's in justice
And justice, I'ma say this on a real though
Pray real slow for the ones that we lost young
[News clip]
"Thank you and the little boy who was killed in a gun-fight between teens last weekend was laid to rest today. The family of 6-year old King Carter said their final goodbye's this afternoon. It was a long and emotional service honoring King"
[Verse 2 continued: Lawren]
Rest in peace, young King. You will never go, never go all alone
You gon' live in our memories. Lord, we ask for your help
This moment of pain feel like nobody felt
Like nobody else, you know what it feels
I want a tree, you know what it means
Give us some peace, Lord, give us some peace
I can't believe it they say they can't see oppression
This total depravity, sad to me, it's like Amity
We are waiting to be reunited with our family
In the sky, living with our father
For the first time, some of us'll have a father
I'm blessed I got two, and I love 'em to death
Trying to be the best dad like all of the rest of
[Hook: Lawren]
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
My mind tryna stop but my body keeps movin'
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
I act like I lead but I'm really so foolish
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
My mind tryna stop but my body keeps movin'
Oh no, I don't wanna do this
I act like I lead but I'm really so foolish
[Outro]
"And we not hear about him dying. He get killed, or they killing each other. I think what went wrong. They're dying because they need our help. They need advice from the elders, but sometimes the elders are ignorant. And they don't want to teach the young ones anything. They don't wanna tell them whats right and whats wrong"
